About The Position

We're looking for a Paid Social Specialist who knows their way around the major social platforms and is ready to jump in, take ownership and help drive smart, effective social media campaigns. This role is perfect for someone with around 3 years of hands-on paid social experience who loves campaign strategy, audience development, platform execution, optimization, reporting and finding the "so what?" in performance data. You'll help manage paid social campaigns from setup through reporting, working across platforms like LinkedIn, Meta, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat and TikTok (and potentially others depending on client needs). To be clear: this is not a content creation role. Our creative teams and/or clients provide the creative assets - your job is to make sure those assets are launched, targeted, optimized and working hard in the platforms. Success in this role means you're detail oriented, curious, proactive, organized and comfortable moving quickly across multiple clients and campaigns. You'll be a part of a collaborative, fast-moving media team that likes smart ideas, clear communication, clean campaign builds and celebrating wins.
